Intesting, I think change is a fine definition of time.

The first law states that energy can not be created or destroyed. So everything (=energy/ God/ love) will exist forever.

Definitely, one uses medication to ease up on the anxiety. Others use amphetamine as to escape from emotional pain. I see no difference.

I had epilepsy with convulsion. Officer found me on the ground I screamed to people for help, no one replied….
May 15, 2020 at 01:45
I feel you.
May 15, 2020 at 00:39
No one els?
May 15, 2020 at 00:30
Well put! Unfortunately lots of people here in Netherland are dependent on benzodiazepines. They estimate even more than people on alcohol. There is a...

I agree completely. A person that is prescribed anti-anxiety medication to help with anxiety is equivalent to a person who uses amphetamine or ecstacy...

Yeah, I was bringing up arguments that are useless. I am now aware of this. Thanks for making me realise.
May 13, 2020 at 17:01
But it is not useful in discussion
May 13, 2020 at 05:58
I concede. There is actually only one thing to say then: we are all one. We are everyone and no one. So it's best to conceptualise and differentiate. ...
May 13, 2020 at 05:57
It is just not convenient to apply this to everything, I agree.
May 13, 2020 at 05:16
Look up the matter-energy equivalency.
May 13, 2020 at 05:15
Flour is energy, energy can transform into matter. If you transformed the energy in such a way so that some matter assumes apple.
May 13, 2020 at 05:14
This is what the ultimate idea is. And I know that it is very inconvinient if we don't differentiate between things. So I believe they are different b...
May 13, 2020 at 05:11
But they are both energy, so they must be the same. I think everything is the same. We are one. We are all the big bang.
May 13, 2020 at 05:08
I in fact, see thoughts as energy and energy was, is and will always be the same. Perhaps this definition is way too basal. But I mentioned that thoug...
May 13, 2020 at 05:04
The ego is afraid of becoming non-existent. But that's the only thing that will vanish when we die. The energy we consist of will always be there. Rea...
May 13, 2020 at 00:07
What has been said above, awareness of being an individual is necessary. A rabbit needs to know the fox at the hill is not himself, otherwise it would...
May 13, 2020 at 00:04
Because it is apparently extremely useful in nature. Humans are very successful species. They rule basically the world. Granted, there are other trait...
May 12, 2020 at 22:41
I stand by this statement. Give me a counter argument.
May 12, 2020 at 18:11
I caused so much confusion with that sentence. Excuse me. I did not mean that he did not say infinite regress. But that my reply to him contradicted w...
May 12, 2020 at 18:04
May 12, 2020 at 18:03
Oh that was indeed not what @"creativesoul" said . So in my thoughts about new thoughts I used the infinite regress argument? All the thoughs we had, ...
May 12, 2020 at 17:56
Okay maybe I misunderstood what you meant by infinite regress.
May 12, 2020 at 17:28
I know, I was cynical.
May 12, 2020 at 09:16
Exactly everything turns to original state. Or in fact everything already is and will always bs.
May 12, 2020 at 08:43
You do not. Maybe our dreamworld is the one we live and leave it upon awakening. You can't proof wich one is real. You can't know of others are consci...
May 12, 2020 at 08:07
We don't know. It is definitely evolved. Possible it gives the animal advantages to have a high awareness and conscous level.
May 12, 2020 at 07:59
No, nothingness does not exist. Nothing to something is not possible by definition
May 12, 2020 at 07:53
No, it is just a thought that developed within ourselves.
May 12, 2020 at 07:44
What is a thought? In pure sense, there are no new thoughts. They always show up as a combination of signals in the brain that were composed of previo...
May 12, 2020 at 07:39
Interesting question. What is your definition of a natural right? If you mean right as in a legit reason for certain behavior, I think everyone has th...

Objectively would be like sexual education. And subjectively would mean your own prefences, fantasies or fetishes?
May 09, 2020 at 23:17
Why is that information useful and interesting to this discussion?
May 09, 2020 at 21:55
Currently, yes.
May 09, 2020 at 17:09
Completely agree with you! The perception is very real. There have been experiments where they stimulated parts of brain that caused people to use the...
May 09, 2020 at 03:07
That's fine by me.
May 09, 2020 at 02:54
Thanks for a very detailed and explanatory comment!
May 09, 2020 at 02:53
I am reporting on the societal norm. I actually find it normal for both sexes to be as open.
May 09, 2020 at 02:50
Thanks man. I am learning to handle it better nowadays. I was never allowed by my parents to talk about sex or intimacy when I was a child. I think th...
May 09, 2020 at 02:48
Well, then takes some load off my shoulders. I am not the bragging type. I am not even elaboratively discussing all the details explicitly, unless wit...
May 08, 2020 at 13:27
Definitely, they promised me things at intake and did not live up to their promises. I was in danger and I send off clear signals and they did not eve...
May 08, 2020 at 13:23
I have been told and I think it too by the way I can be very obsessed with sex. I tried to talk about it in therapy, but apprently there was no room f...
May 08, 2020 at 06:28
I appreciate the cricism by the way.
May 08, 2020 at 06:20
I am simply telling an anecdote. I am aware that last information did not really add anything to the discussion. But that's okay, I am still human. I....
May 08, 2020 at 06:16
If heaven exists, we are already in it. From the start and forever. We never really die. Just tansit to different type of energy. Energy can never be ...
May 08, 2020 at 06:11
Even if free will is real, it's extremely minimal. The only knowlegde you can built up is that it awfully feels like we choose.
May 08, 2020 at 06:06
I remember one girl asked me if I was into watersports. So I asked nicely if she meant sexual or sportive. Then she replied: what is the sexual type t...
May 08, 2020 at 05:45
Yeah, ironical in a way. Some girls may be amused by that as first question and directness. But I am being annying dude, i apologise. I totally get it...
